Neil discovers headphones

Neil likes to dance to certain tunes like "eka peksha ek" "maa ka laadlaa" etc. But he was little peevish about headphones. For some reason he hated putting them on. Lately he has started becoming little inquisitive and bold. For example, he used to be afraid of the Roomba. The moment it started, he would find a safe, high ground and watch it like a hawk. He definitely wondered what it was doing. Especially since it bounces off walls in a random manner, and goes in a straight line, and sometimes hugs the wall - it certainly gives out a sense of purpose. To Neil, it must have seemed alive. He used to stay away from it. But now he is very comfortable - it's his new buddy. Just like he got used to Roomba, he also suddenly got the courage to try out the headphones that I was wearing. Clearly there was some sound coming from it, and when I took it to his ears it got much louder. So I put his song "maa ka laadlaa" on and let him have it.
He was simply mesmerized by it. He confirmed that the sound was coming out of the earphones, and then he just pressed them to his ears. His face bore the expression of someone concentrating deep inside themselves to figure out exactly what is happening. Then he started dancing - it went on for many minutes, and his fascination kept on increasing. I remember the first time I tried headphones. That was some time around 80 - we had gone to Thane at Vimal mavshi's place. They had bought a walkman - in those days you could find walkman very rarely. It was from the very first batch that hit India costing a whopping 2500 rupees (I bought one in 87 for about 300 rupees) Vimal mavshi's husband was in customs, he had access to latest goods. I too was amazed with the sound - it felt like the music was playing inside your head. The kids this generation are really lucky - I was 20 years when I had my own walkman - Neil is just 20 months.
